Blocking Safari Ads and Pop-Ups: Discussion on MacRumors Forums

Over the years, I have tried various methods for blocking pop-ups and ads in Safari. I have explored the settings in the “websites” and “security” sections, and I’ve even installed popular extensions like AdBlock and AdBlock Plus. Unfortunately, despite my efforts, none of these solutions have proven to be very effective. My experience has been frustrating.

While some ads and pop-ups are blocked, many others slip through the cracks. This inconsistency has left me feeling disillusioned with Safari’s ad-blocking capabilities. In contrast, I have found success with ad-blocking solutions on other browsers, such as Chrome and Firefox. For many years, I’ve been using uBlock Origin Lite, and it has worked exceptionally well.

The experience in these browsers has highlighted the shortcomings I’ve encountered in Safari. I can’t help but wonder if I’m alone in feeling this way or if others have also noticed that Safari struggles with effective ad and pop-up blocking. I am curious to know if there is any truly effective solution available for Safari users. While I have continuously explored various settings and extensions, the outcomes remain frustratingly similar.

It seems odd that other browsers manage to provide a smoother experience with ad-blocking while Safari continues to fall short. I would greatly appreciate any insights or recommendations from users who have faced similar challenges. Is there a hidden gem of a solution that could truly help improve the ad-blocking experience in Safari?
